One World One Voice


"One World One Voice" was an event of gargantuan proportions organized by HRD Employee Relations, Bhubaneswar DC, Infosys. It was held on 20th September 2010.

At Infosys, we have this practise of having townhall meetings with BODs quite frequently. We have named it as "Centre Stage". This quarter, we had invited Ms. Nandita Gurjar, SVP and Head HR, Infosys. CentreStage was followed by a plethora of cultural events, like Inter Unit Skit contest, Ramp shows, Inter college Dance contest (This was hosted by Infy BBSR, for the first time), Voice of BBSR (Singing Contest), Dance numbers etc.


The evening ended with employee dinner. Overall, it was a gala event worth cherishing.

The stars of the evening were young boys from the group, "Goti Pua". Goti Pua is a traditional dance form, which germinated in the lesser known sleepy town of Raghuraj Pur, near Puri, Orissa. The dance form is performed by a group of young boys below the age of 14, 'coz they believe that human body loses flexibility after the age of 14. Their dance was very similar to Oddisi dance but with lot more acrobatic moves. The audience was left spell bound after their mesmerizing performance.
